If you want output HTML from your server which includes a Java Applet, then
the logic to produce the HTML must be in your JSP. I agree with Jonathan,
you should use Sun's Java-Plugin for the browser-side VM. Note, that this
will have an inpact on the HTML that your JSP sends to the client.
I would be very careful with the use of Swing-UI unless you need that
functionality. With JDK 1.1 and 1.2, some of the Widgets in Swing can cause
hundreds of classes to be loaded into memory. The structure of the Swing
portable-look-and-feel manager will load classes for motif, metal as well as
windows look and feel. It is my understanding that this is unchanged in 1.3.
This is a performance hit in starting an applet. It also leads to a larger
memory footprint. I have gotten better performance and a lighter footprint
from 3rd party widgets.
I wish that Swing would only load the classes to support the native
platform, by default. Hopefully, this will change in a future release.
